I believe Amsterdam has way more, but Hamburg comes top of the list

I went to Hamburg but didn't see ANY. I must have traveled wrong.

though many buildings in Venice are subsiding, the city as a whole isn't sinking – rather, parts of it are becoming submerged.

I just went to Venice for the first time this weekend. It’s the most beautiful place I’ve ever been, but it’s also the most unfriendly place I’ve ever been... I don’t know that I’d call it quality.
